eh, why do people care about the kespa sanctioned? a check doesn't need to be kespa sanctioned, and iirc the gom prize was a big fat one

edit: by this i mean why would some teams not participate

i guess ogn and mbc make sense because of competing networks, but why not skt1?

why do you even care about KESPA's rules ? GOM was a very big event. Even prize says itself. It is completely unreasonable. It should be changed to old system.

well, if kespa wanting a monopoly means that we discredit the best players in history, then that's ok with me!

to say that because gom was not kespa sanctioned it will not count for tlpd despite what it was is a joke.

to call gom s2 "an invitational" is a worse joke.

This is a correct thing to do, either count all 3 seasons, or remove everything, because it doesn't make sense.

Fine with me, for I really don't care so much about ELO and such, however, it bothers me that Kespa isn't sanctioning GOM, and teams aren't participating... Why is this, anyway? I would assume more events and more money is a GOOD THING for Starcraft... Why would Kespa (And some teams) continually facepalm GOM?

can we get Gom S1 put in the database but not counted towards ELO? seems strange to have S2 in but now S1 now. Plus Jaedong's accomplishments would look nicer going into his OSL championship bid.

We asked GOM for full brackets for GOM1 but they haven't gotten back to us despite many attempts to get this information.

Season 2 has incomplete information too, and it was still included. You've got everything for the Ro32 and up, why not at least add just those games, and you can add the earlier rounds whenever all the information comes to light?

Following Kespa is so arbitrary. An all-star game I can understand since it's more of a fun thing and people don't really try like in the race battles. But counting ELO in a whole tournament with big money and top players and great finals like bisu vs jangbi and jaedong vs flash helps show the current state/power of the players.

However, I do agree that it's either count all seasons or count none for consistency.
